Reuel Jacques Abale Gnalega v. United States, et al.

Petitioner Reuel Jacques Abale Gnalega, an African-American US military veteran, was electrocuted and misdiagnosed by a VA Hospital physician team, including a Dr. Michael H. Pfeiffer. Petitioner is a veteran who is eligible for treatment at the VA Hospital in Washington, DC. After electrocuting Petitioner, and several years of attempts by the VA Hospital to diagnosis and cure of the cause of Petitioner’s pain, the VA Hospital in Washington DC prematurely discharged Petitioner from further diagnosis and treatment. On March 16, 2016, the VA Hospital in Washington, DC refused to continue to evaluate and treat Petitioner’s pain. Id. As a result, Petitioner has suffered incapacity from the chronic excruciating pain of the internal burns, the inability to walk except with crutches, a possible foot amputation, cognitive decline, and the inability to work. On May 31, 2017, Petitioner submitted a claim letter to the VA of Washington DC - well within two years of the VA Hospital’s discharge and ending its treatment attempts to determine the cause and resolve the pain of Petitioner. ■
